Latin Pop

When it comes to pop music, one thing is certain: it’s a big, wide mundo Latino out there. When you want to enjoy only lo mejor, you need our Latin Pop Essentials, featuring the finest in everything from Venezuelan duo Chino & Nacho and the tropical sounds of “Niña Bonita,” to late, great Tejano superstar Selena and her ballad blossom “Como la Flor.” Aventura blends the hip-hop swagger of Akon and Wisin & Yandel into their own Bronx-born brand of bachata on “All Up 2 You,” and Colombian crossover queen Shakira revisits her roots on a mad-catchy “Loca (feat. el Cata).”

Ricky Martin and Natalia Jiménez single each other out on “Lo Mejor de Mi Vida Eres Tú,” but the best thing about our Latin Pop Essentials? There’s a whole new playlist in Next Steps.

Compare the sweet-and-sour sounds of a sunny “Limón y Sal” from multitalented superstar Julieta Venegas to the fierce reggaeton sabor of Daddy Yankee and his bold bye-bye “La Despedida,” and it’s clear that Latin Pop can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. That’s why we’ve made sure to mix it up, bringing you Marc Anthony and his power-ballad plea “Amar Sin Mentiras,” alongside the romantic salsa ritmos of Enrique Iglesias’ “Bailamos,” and Sergio Mendes with a hip-pop update of his bossa nova standard “Mas Que Nada (feat. the Black Eyed Peas).”
